I think work is being done on straightening auditory hairs which have become flattened, probably by noise. The bedside hummer sounds a good idea. The advice I've been given is since it's there all the time you can learn to think of something else. In mild cases only I would think.
Pete Townhsend of The Who has tinnitus - why aren't I surprised? Playing in rock bands or attending their performances I think is a very common cause. This ensures a continuing stream of sufferers as they grow up. My 13 yr old son plays drums and though I insist he use earplugs, he often forgets. Watch this if your children play in rock bands. I play jazz which is usually much quieter and instead of being a battle, it's imperative that you listen to each other, so I don't wear earplugs. Years ago my wife pressed her mouth against ear and screamed - don't ask why - but I think that precipitated it. Watch the decibels when love-making!
